The Pittsburgh Steelers got the big win against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night, defeating their AFC North rival 26-22 in a slugfest where both teams suffered several notable injuries. Pittsburgh came out on top with several splash plays coming from its defense, including touchdowns by OLBs T.J Watt and Alex Highsmith.
Head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about the splash plays that the defense provided and if he noticed anything additional to Watt’s game with Pittsburgh’s two other star defenders, DL Cameron Heyward and S Minkah Fitzpatrick out of the game. Tomlin instead complimented two other defenders who came up big in the game, commending them for stepping up in wake of multiple injuries to Pittsburgh’s star defensive players.
